I watched the common dolphin for a few hours today, I set up my camera on the banks [on the tripod] took my folding stool, midge net [ and boy, I was glad of it ] The dolphin started in the first hour quite slowly only jumping a few times. then it seemed to come awake, and was doing all sorts of acrobatic jumps, swimming on its back and tail walking, it was wonderful to watch it. then at 1500 hours it left the voe following the oot skeeries ferry, then veered left into the sea proper.. so i don't know if it'll be back or not, Julie Redpath and I watched it do the same thing last week, but it came back from the voes mouth, but not this time.. anyway, you'll be wanting the pics I took today. lol ..
Leaving Vidlin Voe, the wake in the top of the pic. is of the ferry..
